Cindy Lou aka Little Loulou



Now, I don't mean to brag, but this child is soooo cute!  Of course she's an angel because she's only 7 months old.  I'm sure she'll go through her terrible 2 times.  I'm just enjoying her while she's a sweetie.  The hardest part about her is trying to keep her on a nap schedule.  She fights a nap with everything she has and then other times she falls right asleep without me even trying.  That usually happens when we are out somewhere away from home though.  I rock her and sing her 2-3 songs then I put her in her crib.  Of course she screams and cries...I go in about every 5 minutes depending on her cry and pat her back.  At first she would cry for at least 30 min.  Now i've got her down to only 10-15.  I had to do this with Drake.  It works like a dream for my kids.  Drake takes a 2 hour nap everyday and I usually don't ever have to fight him.  He falls asleep by himself after his routine of a story and a song.  I also had to train Drake to sleep though the night.  that was a lot harder. It took me till he was about 12 months.  I'm thankful Loulou was born a good sleeper.

Loulou is just starting to get up on her hands and knees.  It won't be long until she is crawling.  I'm so excited about that because she'll be a little more independent and can play with Drake a little more.
